The Expedition was more minor, but still an important influence. I used to say that every family in my neighborhood had an SUV if they had one or two children, and a mini-van if three or more. The Expedition went up a notch in size, added extra seats, and changed all that. It became a whole new class of vehicle - the supersized SUV. Unfortunately, much of the influence was bad. The normal sized SUVs (Explorer, Pathfinder, etc.) started growing each year, and now they all have a third row of pathetic seats that add weight and remove storage capacity.
Oh yeah, I have never seen an Expedition in anybody's garage around here. Every time I've asked the owner said they wouldn't have the nerve to try.
